Happy April Fools Day - 2022 edition

"I got nothing" so far today to report insofar as a local April Fools' Day effort. Rumors abound of an opportunity allegedly soon to be posted, but that report has not been confirmed and may just be in and of itself a April Fools' Day gag being played out on yours truly. Regardless, I must carrying on with what I have and I am commenting on what is often a good nature working holiday. 

2022 is different. Many wish that someone would reveal that the current happenings worldwide, and yes, here in Palmetto Bay are all one big April Fools gag, but alias, it is not. But fear not, we can work together for positive change!

Once again, I refer you to History.com for the origin story see: April Fool's Day

April Fools’ Day—celebrated on April 1 each year—has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery. April Fools’ Day traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools’ Day prank. While its exact history is shrouded in mystery, the embrace of April Fools’ Day jokes by the media and major brands has ensured the unofficial holiday’s long life.

I wish a fond "Happy April Fools Day" to those who celebrate!

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY - 2022!
